My cars so fast it blew its crank pulley right off LOl
I was at the track last night and the front part of the Crank pulley which connects to the supercharger belt came right off as soon as I launched. car felt real slow so I cruised all the way down to the finish line. Stock Pulley by the way
Thankfully the outer ring just fell down and didn't bounce around and take everything in its path out.
The belt almost came off the run before didn't think much of it so I put it back I guess it was getting pushed off slowly.
Drove home with no supercharger without any hard acceleration, car felt so quiet

Same happened to me a year ago where the outer edge just sheared right off. Decided to take the opportunity to go bigger a bigger pulley. As it turned out there were other issues created at the same time which weren't immediately obvious including the supercharger pulley being slightly bent out of alignment which was a disaster waiting to happen. Thankfully I realised something was amiss and swapped it out before it had a chance to do damage. Also the water pump and alternator were affected and ultimately needed to be swapped out. So my advice would be to check everything thoroughly. GL.

yes it was stock
I took it to JS Benz and they had a stock pulley laying around. I would of liked to go bigger obviously but then I would of needed some other upgrades I just wasn't ready to deal with at the moment. I have a few minor issues to tackle before I start upgrading anything else.
Thank You Therapist, I did go back and take a look at it and everything seems fine and aligned, went easy on it for the first few rides just in case.
